and I thought I would miss it because I had to do something else.

BTW, what's the SMW run? Is it the go-right-to-bowser's-castle TAS, or the beat-the-game-in-level-2/sub 2 mins TAS?

I'm pretty sure it's a different hotel each time.

Also yeah alex will be hard to find based on his description, half the attendees need a haircut

Hate to dash out in the middle of the Mario Kart run, but duty calls. Have a blast, Alex!

Pretty sure that Luigi Raceway run is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

e: That Kalamari Desert gives it a run for its money, though.

Kalimari Desert was also pretty cool.

e: Shout out to Rob for killing Gradius.

Holy crap SMB3 really jumped up there quick in the donations.

And all of those Mario Kart TAS courses were crazy. Can't wait to see the upcoming stuff.

Can you give us a detailed explanation of that SMW run?

e: Would it be possible to program a short hack (like What the Hell or any small ASM showcase) and TAS it?

Yeah never mind that SMW run is the new greatest thing. How did that even work, anyway?

Holy everything. I... wow. You programmed two games through the controller port of another game. That's unbelievable.

I'm not one to know, but I presume it's similar to the Pokemon yellow Tas posted last year where they figured out how to inject their own code into the game via controller inputs, then wrote their own code and converted it into a controller input.

Clever, clever Alex, keeping the cool stuff under wraps until the reveal.

I've always wanted to played Snake with Mario's head.


That was pretty awesome.


The whole AGDQ has been really good so far from what I've seen, I wasn't able to see the Year of the Dragon race though which makes me sad. :(

I watched the segment Alex was in today, and I have to say: I was just expecting the crazy-glitched run Masterjun did last year, but I was not expecting THAT! (But I still recognized the first part)

For those who missed something and don't want to wait for the encodings (cause that usually takes a LOT of time): http://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/commen ... ds_thread/

Now on air: The always-awesome Megaman block!

And for my personal highlight after the Megaman block: Yoshi's Island (I really hope they hit the 2500$ for the glitched run)

I've never seen Mega Man 2 run before, that was really good!

I too hope for some Glitched Yoshi.

Okay, there now needs to be a hack of SMW where there is enough time to program the entire Super Mario Bros. into SMW while playing.

You can tell stuff's about to get intense when they put a handcam on the screen.
